The atai Fellowship Fund in Psychedelic Neuroscience (“atai Fellowship”) within the Center for the Neuroscience of Psychedelics at Massachusetts General Hospital will provide graduate students and other trainees with time and resources to pursue cutting-edge research to uncover the fundamental mechanisms of action and key properties of therapeutic psychedelics and other neuroplasticity modulators. Awardees will be selected with a focus on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the psychedelic field. The students will be primarily recruited from institutions of higher learning in the Greater Boston area.
Master’s degree students, students currently enrolled in a PhD or MD/PhD program, and researchers already holding a MD can apply.
Applications will be considered as a joint proposal between a graduate student/trainee and a Principal Investigator (PI). As such, applicants can be considered at any point in their training but should already have selected a host laboratory and discussed a research project with their PI.
Applicants from Harvard University will be considered after a student has joined or coincident with joining a laboratory for their thesis project.
Applicants from universities in the greater Boston area should demonstrate a collaborative connection to Harvard University or Mass General.
If required for the project, the host laboratory must demonstrate the capability to support research with controlled substances.
Applications are now closed. A new application period will open in Spring 2024
